Over on CAPS, fully 846 of the 865 members who have rated EnCana -- some 98% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include richmunro and jrich0591.

Last month, richmunro noted a few of the stock's strong points: "good mnagement, excellent profit and profit potential, positioned right for future big returns."

In a pitch from a week later, jrich0591 shared that bullish attitude, elaborating on EnCana's untapped value:

Exceptionally well positioned in the energy sector. Vast energy reserves. Undervalued by any measurement. Decent yield and dividend growth history; low payout ratio. Positioned to split into separate companies -- natural gas and oil -- when global economic conditions strengthen, thus unlocking further shareholder value.
